Down to our last week...

Well, we're down to our last week in Canada. Our time here has flown by unbelievably fast! It's been a good time of reconnecting with family and friends. Our children have really enjoyed our time here. As they are older now it will be more difficult for them to leave than the first time we left Canada. I feel sad about that but I know that they will enjoy reconnecting with their friends in Papua too.
Hugo still has one more government exam to write. He has been studying studiously. If he does not pass this exam he has to redo all three so it's a big deal.
We've packed up the majority of our things, the things we don't need now. Our crate is sealed up and scheduled to be picked up next week.
However, we still have no visa and things aren't looking too positive on that end so prayers are appreciated.
It's hard not to feel stressed. There are so many unknowns right now. It's at times like this in particular that one is challenged to simply trust in God's plan. Not an easy thing for us sinful control-freak humans to do.

I had to chuckle at the "Not an easy thing for us sinful control-freak humans to do." So true! Hope your transition back to Papua goes smoothly. God bless,

I know the feeling. When we flew out for South Africa the first time the passports with VISAs arrived in the mail from the consulate in Toronto on Friday, and our flight left on Monday morning. Hopefully you don't cut it that close! We were extremely conscious of our powerlessness at that point!

It was great to have seen you up here in Vernon. We wish you the Lords blessing as you go back to Papua and embark on the next few years of your life journey there.

May God grant you safe travels to Holland and onwards.
